Rebirth of the Peak Young Master
Chapter 127: Taking Pleasure in Others’ Misfortune

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Taking Pleasure in Others’ Misfortune

Looking at Black Demon, Nu Mu Vajra, and Hee Wuji—these three peak Hua Realm masters—surrounding Ye Fei.

Almost simultaneously, everyone else stepped aside, clearing the space for this showdown.

Although it was called a "showdown," in truth, most of them were enjoying the spectacle with schadenfreude.

At the same time, a sense of curiosity arose in their hearts.

Ye Fei had just brazenly provoked Black Demon, but what did he have to rely on? No one knew.

But now, it wasn’t simply Black Demon anymore. Faced with three peak Hua Realm opponents, how would Ye Fei handle this?

Though their hearts churned with speculation, Ye Fei remained calm and unhurried, seated there, slowly tidying up the Vitality Pills in front of him. Casually, he asked, "You’re all here to kill me?"

"Kill you? Haha, why? Getting scared now?"

Hee Wuji took the lead, laughing. "Kid, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. If you surrender the pills and the treasure to me right now and come back with me to the Qi Union Sect, I might consider sparing your life. If you perform well, I wouldn’t mind taking you as my direct disciple!"

Direct disciple?

When the crowd heard this, their faces showed envy.

Though the Qi Union Sect couldn’t compare to the Shangguan Family, it was still a major Martial Arts Sect, especially with Hee Wuji, a peak Hua Realm sect leader, presiding over it.

It was indeed a dominant force.

The people at the Martial Arts Conference—who among them wasn’t here scrambling for cultivation resources?

If they could enter the Qi Union Sect and apprentice under Hee Wuji, to many of them, that would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Damn! This is way too lucky! Killing an elder could lead to this? If I’d known, I would’ve killed one myself to try it out!"

Immediately, someone said enviously.

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby sneered, "Kill an elder from the Qi Union Sect? With you? That Zhao Shi was merely the weakest elder of the Qi Union Sect! However, this kid lucked out! Having a master like Hee Wuji is far better than those pills he has!"

The others all nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with this viewpoint.

Though their voices were faint, how could Hee Wuji not hear them?

Take Ye Fei as a direct disciple?

That was nothing more than a trick to fool a young, inexperienced boy with little knowledge of the martial world!

Killing an elder from his own sect—if Hee Wuji really made Ye Fei his disciple, wouldn’t it be a joke? The other elders in the sect wouldn’t agree, either!

The real reason Hee Wuji said this was simply to get Ye Fei’s treasure effortlessly.

After all, according to the Shangguan Family’s rumors, Ye Fei had managed to kill Lu Yidao and his group of five with a single treasure.

If Ye Fei had genuine strength, that would be one thing.

But for someone of Ye Fei’s age, at best in the Qi Union Sect, he would be no more than a gatekeeper boy. In that case, the treasure capable of helping him slay five people must be extraordinary!

Otherwise, why would Hee Wuji, along with Nu Mu Vajra and Black Demon, travel thousands of miles to come here?

Once he had Ye Fei’s treasure, Hee Wuji wouldn’t let Ye Fei live a moment longer!

But just as everyone thought Ye Fei would take Hee Wuji’s offer to surrender the treasure and pills graciously, Ye Fei simply chuckled lightly and said, "Hee Wuji, if you kneel now, I might spare your life and offer you some guidance!"

"Insulting!"

Hee Wuji’s face turned red and white upon hearing Ye Fei’s words.

As for Black Demon and Nu Mu Vajra, they both looked at him mockingly.

He had his schemes, but he treated others as fools. Setting aside whether Ye Fei would agree.

Even if Ye Fei truly agreed, the two of them wouldn’t sit back and let Hee Wuji get his way.

Still, they understood this was Shangguan Family’s territory. Openly, they were acting for revenge for their disciples or sect members, giving them a justifiable cause.

But there was no guarantee the Shangguan Family wouldn’t step in to claim a share of the spoils!

So Nu Mu Vajra took the lead and said, "Alright! Hee Wuji, enough with those petty thoughts. The priority now is to deal with this brat. The treasure and pills will belong to whoever is destined for them. Let’s have a friendly contest; whoever wins gets his possessions!"

"Fine! Let’s compete and see who claims the treasure and pills!" Hee Wuji immediately agreed with a smile.

Black Demon also nodded slightly, clearly supporting Nu Mu Vajra’s proposal.

In an instant, the three of them took triangular stances, facing each other, ready to clash at any moment!

Meanwhile, the others looked at Ye Fei with faces full of pity.

With the three of them like this, Ye Fei seemed to have become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in their hands. Once the three had determined the winner, it would be Ye Fei’s turn to die!

"Alas... Brother Ye is probably doomed this time!"

In a corner nearby, Yang Dachuan looked on at the sight with a sigh and shook his head.

It had to be said, Ye Fei had saved him and Yang Qingqing’s lives back at Scorpion Tail.

But now, with three peak Hua Realm masters present, Yang Dachuan, a mere Ming energy Middle Stage martial artist, wouldn’t even dare to entertain the thought of stepping in to help.

A sigh was merely his way of expressing a tinge of guilt.

As for Yang Qingqing, her heart couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Ye Fei.

Though Ye Fei had truly astounded her that night, faced with three peak Hua Realm masters, there seemed no way for him to triumph!

Relying on that enigmatic Heavenly Slash Demon Saber?

But in Yang Qingqing’s opinion, while the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber could easily slaughter Lu Yidao and those Hidden Energy martial artists, it might not be effective against three peak Hua Realm experts!

Furthermore, last night, from beginning to end, it was the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber that displayed its power, yet Ye Fei himself hadn’t acted.

"Seems Ye Fei’s own skills aren’t much to speak of! It’s all thanks to the treasure’s power!"

Yang Qingqing thought this, shaking her head slightly!

No matter how powerful a treasure was, it was ultimately external. If Ye Fei relied on the Heavenly Slash Demon Saber like last night to deal with Black Demon and the others, it likely wouldn’t work!

After all, the speed of peak Hua Realm masters and Hidden Energy practitioners were worlds apart.

If any of Black Demon’s trio evaded the saber’s attack and reached Ye Fei, his chances of survival would be nil!

Yang Qingqing thought this, and Shangguan Hong, who had also observed the events that night, thought the same!

He never believed Ye Fei possessed any remarkable abilities!

So, upon seeing this situation unfold, he immediately sneered and said to the martial artists around him, "Prepare the men below. No matter who kills Ye Fei, our Shangguan Family must seize the treasure and pills immediately!"

"But... but what if Ye Fei tries to escape?" a martial artist asked.

"Then we’ll kill him ourselves!"

Shangguan Hong sneered and chuckled.

However, at that moment, something occurred that no one had expected.

Ye Fei, whom everyone perceived as a lamb awaiting slaughter, finally looked up for the first time. He raised his deep, inscrutable gaze and smiled at Black Demon, Nu Mu Vajra, and Hee Wuji—who were all preparing to strike—saying, "Why bother with the hassle? All three of you can come at me together!"
